Spiced Clove Punch
The origin of punch can be traced back to India, where European traders discovered this warming spiced drink. The English popularized it in the 17th century, and since then, many variations have been created. This clove and cinnamon version has been perfected for the cold season, as the spices have a warming effect. Honey and citrus create a pleasant sweet-and-sour balance, while star anise and ginger add deep, spicy notes to the drink. It's an ideal choice for family gatherings or a cold evening when you crave a hot beverage. Try this easy-to-make spiced punch at home and enjoy the festive spirit in a glass of warmth!
